Dear Consumerist (If indeed that is your real name); The frikkin Starbucks store on 15th Avenue East in Seattle’s Capitol Hill section has endured a broken and boarded up window for over two weeks now. This in the city where Starbucks World Headquarters is just a three minute limo drive down the street to the Industrial Sector. If it were the Starbucks in Paris, Tokyo or Capetown, haunted by a gaggle of wannabe art therapists, then the broken window would be fixed pronto, probably with a Pinkerton’s escort, lights flashing, sirens wailing, and fifty calibers at the ready. After emailing Starbucks HQ two nights ago, we have awoken to find that the Starbucks on 15th East, window is still boarded up, as the culture wars endure. When the Starbuckos return from their Mediterranean yacht parties, perhaps they would be kind enough to explain to the Seattle-Capitol Hill voters as to why they would take their sweet time fixing a frikkin window. Have a wunnerful Krismus…lotsaluv….Marty xxx
